Get a kick out of this — Seattle’s official poster as a host city for the 2026 FIFA World Cup has been unveiled in all of its colorful glory.
The poster, designed by Camano Island artist Shogo Ota, will be used to advertise and represent Seattle’s part in hosting the World Cup internationally. This is also the first time FIFA has chosen to use local artists from each city to create the posters.
Ota’s artwork — which features several nods to the Puget Sound’s natural world, local Indigenous tribes, and city life — was chosen from 42 other submissions. His other work has been featured on everything from Sounders posters to Starbucks mugs to Fjällräven Känken backpacks.
The rest of the 2026 FIFA World Cup city posters will be released as the month goes on. You can see the artworks on FIFA’s website. Posters for all cities will be available for purchase starting Saturday, April 19.
